Three cheers for breakfast beverages.

Pittsburgh knows how to have fun when it comes to food and beer festivals like Picklesburgh and Beerfest, and now the city hopes to have a bloody good time with not one — but two! — bloody mary festivals, celebrating the tomato-and-vodka-infused drink.

First, there’s Bloodys & Brunch: A Bloody Mary Festival on May 20. Then, just a month later on June 24, Pittsburgh’s Sunday’s Best Bloody Mary Festival comes to town.

In preparation for these festivals — and for your regularly scheduled Sunday brunch plans — here are 8 of the tastiest bloody marys in Pittsburgh.

It's called "Our Famous Bloody Mary," and it lives up to the name.

“Our bloodys have developed quite the cult following!” said Stephanie Dickson, Blue Dust bar manager. “What keeps people coming back is our no-nonsense-straight-no-frills mix made from the best ingredients and our in-house infused vodkas. We make horseradish vodka, pickled vodka and smoked garlic gin in house.”

Blue Dust also purchases Old Bay-infused vodka from Philadelphia Distilling company. You can’t hate the deliciousness, even though it comes from Philly.

A classic concoction.

South Side

When it comes to curing a hangover, why not support the same neighborhood that probably gave you the ailment in the first place?

South Side’s Carmella’s Pints and Plates has become a brunching touchstone on East Carson Street, with its brunch plates like hanger steak and eggs and, of course, breakfast drinks like the bloody mary.

The Commoner

Downtown

The Commoner’s bloody mary bar boasts a plethora of seasonal mixes and infusions, pickled veggies, hot sauces, mini grilled cheese sammies (think of it as like the alcoholic tomato soup and grilled cheese pairing), pancakes, and a selection of breakfast proteins (you know, to make it healthy).

However, even though Dando serves as head bartender, he’s not the only self-proclaimed expert, with guests allowed to play an active role in their drink creation.

“Everyone is convinced they can make the greatest bloody mary ever, so why not let the guest earn their apron, so to speak.”

All the bacon.

Greenfield

Pittsburgh’s Greenfield neighborhood might be one of the city’s best-kept secrets, along with Hough’s $8 bloody mary bar every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“Our bloody mary bar has certainly taken off in the last year,” said Cassie Roach, marketing and events coordinator at Hough’s.

Customers can customize their drinks and also their glass rims, with lemon-pepper, Old Bay, celery salt and black pepper garlic options.

“To complete the overall bloody mary bar experience, wash it all down with a mini beer back of PBR,” suggests Roach, referring to a taster-size pour.

Some like it hot.

For those bloody mary enthusiasts looking for some kick in their drink, look no further than Kaya, which incorporates culinary traditions from the Caribbean Islands, South America, the Pacific and more.

“I think what makes our bloody marys one of the best in the city is that our mix has a perfect blend of viscosity and spiciness,” said Matthew Plummer, Kaya beverage manager. “It tastes great with both vodka and tequila. We house-infuse Espolon Blanco with habaneros for those who like it hot.”

This drink has a personality.

When it comes to the right drink creation, the more the mary-ier at this Strip District restaurant.

“Our bloody mary recipe is made in house and contains more than 33 ingredients,” owner Luke Wholey said. “We start with a V8 blend and add all kinds of good stuff [like] Guinness beer, honey, Sriracha and Cajun spice.”

This drink is like a whole meal in one breakfast beverage, and it almost looks like it’s smiling at you.
